My grandfather William guy Perkins was 15 years old when he marched to Blair mountain with the coal miners he worked with I believe I am the great grandson of either Oakey or Redhorse McCoy
You know Leo a lot of us come from very ordinary backgrounds so to hear your family stories is amazing . It brings to life how difficult it was living and trying
to raise a family in those times. and how easy we have it today. Many thanks
It certainly gives you a good feeling to search your family history and find various members' graves. I know that I have enjoyed working on my family's history, Whoe! It takes time and I certainly am not finished. Matewan is one of those areas in WV that I have not visited. It amazes me how you both just seem to find the most unique and interesting stories. Heather, I always love your choice of music that accompanies many of your videos. Thank you for just loving history and keep up with these awesome videos.
I am a history nerd!!! I love history and I love West Virginia!!! It’s my favorite state but I live in Pa in Uniontown. Another awesome video by Leo and Heather 😎💪🇺🇸🙏
Wonderful story. I can listen to you all day!!!
Thanks for listening
Wife and I spent 30 years chasing my Hatfield lineage. Traveled many miles and learned many things. Not all are happy memories but they are important memories.
Leo you and Heather do such an amazing job with these stories from history! ❤️
Thank you so much!
It really gives you a proud feeling to go back in time and search your family history. Mine came here in 1637 landed in Massachusetts traveled to Connecticut and settled in long island. The fought in the revolutionary war. And all the wars in between. Mares you proud to be an American and thank you for sharing all this with us
Thanks Heather and Leo. Love that you included the earth search zoom-in to where you are taking us Heather.✌♥️
Thank you both for all you are doing. I've heard about Hatfield and McCoys all my life. Nothing like what yall do. Yall have taught me so much. We are planning a trip there next October. I will touching base with yall for a trail ride❤❤
Thank y’all both for another educational and entertaining video, I appreciate all the hard work you two do. ❤️❤️
Supercool cemetery. I really enjoy looking at those old style headstones 🪦 It is great to see that the cemetery is well cared for.
Very sad story about Anderson.
Thank you very much Leo and Heather. This was a very enjoyable video. May all those buried in the cemetery rest in peace 🙏
Lol. Leo, I truly thought it was my stomach gurgling!! Great job on this vlog.
Thanks for the story. My wife was from Matewan and her parents use to tell some stories about those days. I inherited from them a S&W nickel plated pearl handled .38 revolver that supposedly belonged to Sid Hatfield. What a small world. Heather, if I followed your genealogy correctly on AE Hatfield Jr, his daughter is still in Williamson.
Cool information thanks 😊
I really enjoy these videos and Leo really puts a personal spin on it and Heather, love your perspective as well...proud of you guys!!!!
Thanks so much!!
Your videos keep getting better! Thank you both for your hard work and efforts in keeping the memories of these folks alive. Leo are those the actual slugs stuck in the wall ? Thanks again folks

Hi Leo! I just recently discovered your channel and I’m addicted! My mother is a Wolford and from Beech Creek, WV which is about 30 min from Matewan, so close to Williamson, Logan, etc…I was born in Pike County, KY myself. My grandad was Wolford (obviously! lol) and my Grandma was a Sipple. Her Dad Joey Sipple, had some doings with Devil Anse. He was murdered (from what we know), but I’ve not been able to find where he was buried! Would love to find his grave! Love your channel! ❤❤
Hey! Can you send us some details on Joe? Birth, death dates maybe, a wifes name etc, hillbillyfiles@hotmail.com , I have Wolford in my family as well, married I to the Coleman side of my family, Wolford were one of the original families to settle Phelps KY area with the Coleman and few others
Oh wow!! Let me found out we’re cousins!! Hahahah. Let me gather some info from my Mom and I’ll get back with you! I am SO excited!!
So interesting you doing the shows.
Good stuff...Thanks for sharing!!!!
Ancestry is amazing, my cousin has traced his ancestry back to the 1600's back to the old country. He and his wife have actually gone back to Germany meet distant cousins living there and visited the graves. He has gotten pictures. It is amazing to see these old photos and recognize how much we look like those relatives. As for the things that happen within families, we all have those ghosts and heros.
Thanks so much, I enjoyed every minute of your content.
This is very interesting story's. Of your family history of the Hatfields. R.I.P too all the Hatfields Thanks you Leo and Heather. and have a great day 🙏

I Love your alls videos!
You're awesome Leo. I'm from Wheeling.
Hey, thanks!
I ❤ History.
I appreciate you. Thanks.
Thank you too!
I worked with Billy Hatfield. His uncle is a big banjo player. We r in Kentucky. Billy's great grandpa was devil Anse brother I do believe.
Love the old photographs - for such a relatively small town, so much history occurred - hope they all rest in peace ❤️
You and Heather are Great!
Wow, thank you!
@@thehillbillyfiles you are most welcome!!
Hello from Canada. Another interesting video.
Another great video. I love when you visit Matewan.
Have you guys ever visited Queens Ridge Cemetery in Dunlow, Wayne, West Virginia? My 4th great-granduncle Absalom Queen is buried there.
Enjoyed guys 😊
It was still about the same scenario in Michigan's copper country during the 1913/ 14 strike, the mine owners employed all kinds of goons to try to suppress the striking copper Miners and their families, even directly employing the local law enforcement and sheriff's department to break up labor rallies and marches, the animosity towards law enforcement still exists is up here very prevalent on all of the people of all of the generations even going back to the timber barons in the way they treated the loggers and using local goons to suppress them, there's is not really an outright hatred towards law enforcement it is just a attitude of non-cooperation, 100 people can see a crime being committed then no one saw or witness anything that happened, we have the same attitude the people of Skidmore Missouri had towards their local law enforcement when they let the people down in the name of the almighty dollars. But if you have Heather look up the story you will see that the people of Skidmore handle this problem locally, probably over 100 witnesses and to this day no one has not saw anything.
Deputy Sheriff Burman Hatfield.
McDowell County Sheriff Office
End of Watch: Wednesday July 14, 1920
Ambushed by several men as he walked along the tracks Norfolk and Western Railroad between Panther & Mohawk.
Cause: Gunfire

Offender: Arrested in 1922
Leo when do you plan on releasing the video of the reenactment of the massacre? You spoke of this when you were doing the video on the goat RAV campsite, your fans are waiting to see that video, thank you
I didn't make it to the reenactment Kerry, so wont be a video sorry, I would have put it up long ago if I had it lol
Were you ever able to find out where this hotel was located at?
Leo, I enjoy what you have to show here and there up the hills in West Virginia. Don’t let your doctor tell you to exercise more as you are a pretty fit rascal
First thing I noticed at the cemetery was . Victoria was more than 2 yrs older than Anderson .. Hmm .. Also , pretty crazy that 52 years later she decided to rest by Anderson . That folks is LOVE ! But wait , wait , wait . 23:32 If the mother was born in 1876 and Anderson was born in 1884 , the mom would have been 8 yrs old ?!
She was born in 1870 so she was 14, I guess I think he read it wrong, so I looked it up
@@thehillbillyfiles Yeah , child brides around there and across the country was not unusual back then . 14 makes sense .. TY .
Hay Leo I have a old buddy that lives there Don't know how to get hold of him his name is Freddie varnie not sure the spelling but he's a good man if u know him try and let me know
I understand leo,I'm very proud of my Hatfield heritage
I LOVE DOING GENEOLOGY, YOU FIND OUT INTERESTING STUFF ABOUT YOUR FAMIY HISTORY.
Is there a way to clean those head stones and bring the dates and letters out without hurting them?😎🙏🇺🇸
The flashlight trick will help sometimes, and there are cleaners for cemetery stones, but we prefer to not touch them at all. just in case...
You amd Heather are in a lot of cemetery... I think Heather will like this... You all should try dowsing..get you two metal clothes hanger cut bottom and bend a little bigger them your hand in a fist. cut a couple of pvc pipes to put rod part for hands in. Walk slowly across grave ...if rods open out wards ot is a female buried ,if rods cross it is a male. I have gotten a male /female reading a couple times,ot could have bren a intersex person or a female pregnant with a male baby. Or a male baby was buried with Mom. Trust the rods ... Old cemeteries that have been moved sometimes they didnt move bodies. If person was cremated wont work. This works because of different chromosomes and minerals in our body. Male yx female Xx.
Is Anse Hatfield also Devil Anse Hatfield? I’m confused?
There were several "Anses". The movie for example, deleted all but 1 of them, to make it easier to follow.
Hey Leo, have Heather and yourself thought about using an Electric buggy on your trips and do you all care snake tongs in case yall come across dangerous snakes?
We have quite a few machines, atv etc, we don't have tongs, rarely see snakes, I didn't know that existed, thanks for watching!
Dude You should have seen the Eastern Diamond Back at my brother in laws place in Banner, KY 72 hours ago! Thing did not rattle till we where 3 feet from him! Scared the heck out of this Hoosier RedNeck!!!LOL
And I would have frozen to death but I was saved by snake Hatfield if u know him
👍🇺🇸
Did i hear that right? Sid Hatfield killed Anse Hatfield? Correct me if im wrong, i find it interesting, seeing as the families for so tight knit!
